Ramones - My Back Pages Lyrics

Crimson flames tied through my earsRollin' high and mighty traps pounced with fire on flaming roadsUsing ideas as my maps we'll meet on edges, soon, said iProud 'neath heated brow ah, but I was so much older then,I'm younger than that now

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth rip down all hate, I screamedLies that life is black and white spoke from my skull I dreamedRomantic facts of musketeers foundation deep, somehowAh, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teachFearing not that I'd become my enemy in the instant that I preachMy pathway led by confusion boats mutiny from stern to bowAh, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that nowAh, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats too noble to neglectDeceived me into thinking I had something to protectGood and bad, I define these terms quite clear, no doubt, somehowAh, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that nowAh, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that nowAh, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
